I recently joined a gym too, but I vow that I will stop my working out short of not being able to put my arms down at my sides. That guy appears to have some bicep problems. Or maybe he's wearing floaties. Which presents different reasons why you should just let him go.

Sounds like how my life has been going lately. I went to a picnic last night and had two light beers and woke up this morning with a terrible headache that was trying to crush my brain. What I'm saying here is we are all terribly, terribly cursed.

Not only was he wearing a diaper and had six boobs, but he had some sort of rotting disease on his arms... He obviously has issues. You need someone who can help you carry your baggage, not someone who has his own luggage trolley. You know... issues... baggage? This comment sounded better in my head. I definitely agree that a keeper would have helped untangle you. Now there's a cute "how we met" story.

Ohhhh Tracie, you dodged a bullet on this one. The universe was trying to help you out. I am a regular gym-goer and over the years I have discovered that a fair percentage of guys with 6 packs that approach girls in the gym are freaks. (I am assuming that according to your drawing those were abs showing and he had large biceps). Not saying all of them mind you...but a lot. Steriods and supplements do strange things to some guys.

I think Jeff Harget's comment was right. A good guy would have offered to help.

Meh. You don't need a guy who is so caught up in your jump-roping skills that he can't notice your obvious gift for self-immolation...rofl. You need a guy whose bulging muscle isn't in his head where his brain belongs.

I just came back from trailing a new gym. It is a nice place and not that busy on a Tuesday at lunch time.

One thing that struck me as odd as that one of the private personnel trainers there was getting a little too touchy with his client. She didn't seem to mind, and kept asking where she should be feeling exercises, despite being shown time and time again. She was hot, and a quite a few years older than him, and he would be an attractive man.

But I guess that's why you take towels to the gym to wipe down the benches. It's not always for the sweat...
